Have you excitedly entered a code in All Star Tower Defense (ASTD), only to be met with disappointment? There are several reasons why your code might not be working. In short, the most common reasons are that the code is expired, you’ve already redeemed it, there’s a typo, or you are on an outdated server. Let’s delve into each of these issues and other potential causes to help you resolve the problem.
Understanding Code Redemption Issues
1. Code Expiration
One of the most prevalent reasons why a code might fail to redeem is that it has simply expired. ASTD codes are typically time-sensitive and are often released to celebrate events or reach certain milestones. Once the designated period ends, the code will no longer be valid. Keep an eye on official game announcements or reputable social media sources to be among the first to know about new codes and avoid missing out.
2. Code Has Already Been Redeemed
Each ASTD code is designed to be used only once per account. If you’ve previously redeemed a particular code, trying to redeem it again will result in an error. It is a good idea to keep track of which codes you’ve already used or check your inventory for the associated reward, if applicable, to avoid this frustration.
3. Typos and Case Sensitivity
Code entry accuracy is key! Codes are generally case-sensitive, and a single wrong character or a wrongly capitalized letter can invalidate the entire code. Always double-check the spelling and capitalization when inputting codes. It’s best to copy and paste codes directly from the source when possible to minimize the chance of making a mistake.
4. Server Issues
There are times when game servers can become problematic. Issues like server instability, server lag, or outdated game versions may interfere with the code redemption system. If you suspect a server problem, you may need to close your game, relaunch it, or try on a different server. Older servers created before a code was released might not have the code properly implemented, requiring a switch to a new or VIP server to successfully redeem a code.
5. Incorrect Game Menu
Redeeming codes in ASTD requires using the correct game menu. For example, the original version of Tower Defense used a Twitter bird icon on the menu to redeem codes. ASTD, on the other hand, requires you to open the options menu by clicking on the cogwheel in the corner of the screen, and then entering the code into the ‘ENTER CODE’ box. Make sure you are in the correct menu to redeem the code for the correct game, if there’s any confusion.
6. Bugged Codes
In rare situations, codes may be bugged or glitched upon their release. In this case, the developers will usually quickly fix the problem and may announce the code was briefly broken via their social media channels. Keep an eye out for community announcements.
7. Specific Redemption Requirements
Some codes have specific conditions for redemption, such as needing to be a certain level, or using the code on a particular day. Always check to see if there are specific terms of use for any code you try to redeem.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

2. Where can I find valid All Star Tower Defense codes?
You can find ASTD codes on the official ASTD discord server, YouTube channels dedicated to ASTD, or through social media accounts that post frequent game updates. Be wary of less reputable sources which might post fake or expired codes.
3. Are All Star Tower Defense codes case-sensitive?
Yes, ASTD codes are case-sensitive. Be sure to enter the codes exactly as they are shown, paying attention to capitalization, as well as any dashes, special symbols or numbers.
4. How often do new ASTD codes come out?
New ASTD codes typically appear every month, though there isn’t a regular or set schedule. Developers sometimes release codes for special events or if the game hits particular milestones.
5. What do ASTD codes usually provide?
ASTD codes most frequently provide free gems and gold, which can be used to spin for heroes on the summon banner and to upgrade towers. Occasionally, codes may include other exclusive rewards, such as unique units.
6. What is King Luffy and how do I get it?
King Ruffy is a 4-star unit, a reskin of Ruffy TS, and is considered a limited-time character. King Ruffy could be obtained by redeeming two codes: “specialkingluffy100k” and “KingLuffyFan200k.” If you missed these codes at the time, King Ruffy is currently unavailable.
7. How do I evolve King Ruffy?
King Ruffy can be evolved to Ruffy (Huge), and it is one of the first code exclusive units that can be evolved. You will need to use the appropriate evolution item and the correct amount of the required currency.
8. What is the benefit of VIP in ASTD?
ASTD VIP costs 300 robux and grants players a few benefits, such as: double daily rewards, an exclusive mount (the golden chair), and a VIP tag in the chat next to your name. VIP does not provide advantages when it comes to the redemption of codes.
9. What is the “Z banner” in ASTD?
There are 8 different Banners: X, Y, Z, and G, with Banner X always being unlocked, Banner Y being unlocked after completing Ant Kingdom in Story Mode, and Banner Z is only available on World 2.
10. How do you level up units quickly in ASTD?
You level up units by feeding them other, normal units. These units, used as fodder, are then lost from your inventory. Lower star units are generally used to level up higher level ones. Using XP boosters and special fodder units will increase experience gained.
11. What is King Vegu and how do I get it?
King Vegu is a 6-star ground unit based on King Vegeta from Dragon Ball Super: Broly. It is exclusively a reward for completing the Sijin Raid and can be used to evolve several other units.
12. Why is the number 56 associated with Luffy?
The number 56 is a reference to Luffy’s devil fruit. In Japanese, 5= Go, 6 = Mu, which when combined, form the word Gomu (the Japanese word for rubber, which is Luffy’s fruit power). The number 56 was also featured on a t-shirt worn by Garp when he left Luffy with the mountain bandits.
13. What is Tower Defense Simulator Legacy?
Tower Defense Simulator Legacy is a recreation of the popular game Tower Defense Simulator. In this game, players place and upgrade towers in a group to defend against waves of enemies. This game is not the same game as All Star Tower Defense, and codes are not interchangeable between the two games.
14. How do I get Gladiator in Tower Defense Simulator?
Gladiator was unlocked by beating the SFOTH Event in The Heights in the original TDS. In TDS: Legacy, it is obtained by having the Gladiator badge in the original TDS or beating the SFOTH event in TDS: 2019. Gladiator is currently unavailable and no longer obtainable since a gamepass associated with the unit went offsale in 2022.
15. What should I do if a code still doesn’t work after troubleshooting?
If you have gone through the above troubleshooting steps and your code still doesn’t work, it may be best to reach out to the official ASTD support through their social media or discord server and provide them with all the details. In cases of a bug, developers may need to review the matter on a case-by-case basis.
